IThe Presidents Message.

When Congress convened at noon on
esday a messenger appeared with the
Gual message of President Cleveland. 1t
short, and confined to the one chief
|ect of national Importance, the reduc-
h of national taxation so as to avoid an
hnual accumulation of money in the treas
N beyond the legitimate needs of the
PTernment, and money, too, drawn from
he channels of trade, to the disarrange-
ent of business and producing insecurity
d timidity.
1t is the shortest annual message, per-
ps, ever submitted. 1t has been custo-
Ary, heretofore, for Chief Executives to
like a summary of the reports of heads OF
hartments, and these usually constituted,
he main, the annual messages. AS
reports, with their recommendations
suggestions, are submitted along with
message, it seems unnecessary to en-
them in the message.
resident Cleveland has not followed the
ON, but devoted his message to single
pose. He has approached the subject
avenue reform with boldness that is
sshing in these days of time-serving
l5idity, pointing out the dangers of a fur
her pursuance of the present governmental
)Olicy, and advocating a rcadjustment and
|evision of the tariff, 50 as to reduce the
receipts to an amount corresponding to the
heeds of an economically administered
government.
The public treasury, the President says,
should only exist as conduit, conveying
be peoples money to its legitimate objects
expenditure, yet by reason of our system
(f taxation it becomes boarding place for
money needlessly drawn from the avenues
of trade. This large withdrawal has often
caused financial distress to private interests,
and grave crises have only been averted
ly perversion of the proper functions of
be treasury. This condition, too, too
bsely associates government business with
ivate affairs, when there should be abso-
kdte enforcement.

e is still pouring in to an over-full

kelly reach s14O,OOO,O0O, and it is
mt what result this immense with
will have upon the country. Con-
reminded that should financial de-
bn occur, as it is likely to, the treas
n can afford no relief, as there is now no
by of transferring the surplus back to the
kple.
EvThe.gravity of the situation is clearly
nd forcibly stated, and a reduction of tariff
lxation advocated as the only proper means

hands of the people, would cheaper the

DUTY TO THE PEOPLE.
The simple and plain duty which we owe
the people is to reduce taxation to the neces.
sary expenses of an economical operation of
the government, and to restore to the business
of the country the money which we hold in
the treasury through the perversion of gov.
ernmental powers. These things can and
should be done with safety to oil our indus
tries, without danger to the opportunity for
remunerative labor which our workingmen
need, and with benefit to them and all our
people, by cheapening their means Of subsis-
ience and increasing the measure of their
comforts.
The Constitution provides that the Presi-
dent "shall, from time to time, give to the
Congress informatation of the state OF the
Union.n 1t has been the custom Of the Ex-
ecutiye, in compliance with this provision, TO
annually exhibit to the Congress, at the
opening of its session, the general condition
of the country, and to detail, with some par
ticularity, the operations of the Executive
Departments. 1t would be especially agree
able to follow this course at the present time,
and to call attention to the valuable accom-
plishments of these departments during the
last fiscal year. But am so much impressed
with the paramount importance of the sub
ject to which this communication has thus far
been devoted, that | shall forego the addition
of any other topic, and only urge upon your
immediate consideration the estate of the
Union" as shown in the present condition of
our treasury and our general fiscal situation,
upon which every element of our safety and
prosperity depends.
The reports of the heads of departments,
which will be submitted, contain full and ex-
plicit information touching the transaction oi
the business intrusted to them, and such re
commendations relating to legislation in the
public interest as they deem advisable.
ask for these reports and recommendations
the deliberate examination and action of the
legislative branch of the government.
There are other subjects not embraced in
the departmental reports demanding legisla.
tive consideration and which l should be glad
to submit. Some of them, however, have
been earnestly presented in previous messages
and as to them, l beg leave to repeat prior
recommendations.
As the law makes no provision for any re-
port from the Department of State, brief
history of the transactions of that important
department, together with other matters
which it may hereafter be deemed essential
to commend to the attention of Congress
may furnish the occasion for future com.
munication.

The Maryland Farmers Convention, in
Baltimore on Wednesday, adopted the re-
port and tax bill to be submitted to the
Legislature, submitted by special COM

ton of mortgages is one of the chief points
in the tax bill. That provision requires
